Sanctitas et dignitas. Wczesny humanizm potrydencki a perswazyjno-parenetyczny zamysł Piotra Skargi w Żywotach Świętych Starego i Nowego Zakonu
Sanctitas et dignitas. Early post-Tridentine humanism and the persuasive--parenetic idea of Piotr Skarga in The Lives of the Saints of the Old and New Order

Summary/Abstract: Piotr Skarga’s collection The Lives of the Saints (1579) is a text that for years has been commonly associated with the implementation of counter-reformation tasks and the promotion of the cult of saints after the Tridentinum. In fact, the collection turns out to be a comprehensive, highly persuasive parenetic project, which, based on the transcendent “fourth stream” of philosophical anthropology and the utilization of rhetorical-literary strategies, has become an effective tool, unique on a European scale, of intellectual and spiritual formation of the faithful in the spirit of post-Tridentine humanism.
